i asked myself and some other folks why black and brown students are behind in credits? this is the main question, why are they behind in credits? if we don't know the reasons and what causes it, we cannot easily find the solution. i come from a family of middle-class family and my mom she was a teacher junior high for about 37 years. i had an opportunity to learn more than the average student because i had the proper materials, proper assistance. so the kids coming from poor familis if they don't have the extra support, they won't succeed. that is why they are behind. there are more reasons. i remember of the last debate, the madame there was great and fired up. i was really impressed and i think we should have more people like you on school boards. people who are really inspired and care about the kids. more academic opportunities and tutors and more oversight to recover this problem. because some kids they learn. based on cultural experience. for me coming to the united states, i did not know how to speak english. i only knew how to spate speak portuguese. thank you.
